The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in its latest statement, claimed to have targeted U.S. facilities at an airbase in Jordan using ballistic missiles. The group described the attack as part of retaliatory operations in response to U.S. strikes on Iran.
However, the Jordanian military announced that it had intercepted and destroyed four missiles that entered the country’s airspace from Iranian territory. This announcement came hours after the IRGC claimed responsibility for the missile strike on a U.S. military base in Jordan.
Concurrently, the IRGC announced in its “Statement No. 7” that it had carried out a missile and drone attack on the “satellite communications center and the housing facility of U.S. forces” at Bahrain’s Juffair base.
Hours later, the IRGC Public Relations Division released its eighth statement, announcing the continuation of the attacks and claiming that, during the “second phase of the second wave of Operation Nasr-2,” the IRGC’s naval and aerospace forces targeted the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. According to the statement, the fleet’s fuel depots were set on fire, while a Patriot defence system, the Fifth Fleet’s air-control radar, a C-RAM early-warning system, and the control and guidance centre for unmanned vessels were destroyed.
